Slug Resistant Hosta

Some hostas are more resistant to slugs than others. The resistant varieties have thicker leaves which make them harder to attack. They will, in some gardens, be under more pressure than others.

To keep your hosta clear of slugs, some action may be necessary. Saucers with beer placed near the plants will drown them. Be sure to have the soil come up to the top edge so they can crawl in. The easiest way is to use slug bait. Apply once a month. The organic type works very well.
